Using the report
Most VCC explainers online are years out of date — still listing the VCC Grant Scheme as live, quoting old AUM thresholds, or missing the 2025 economic-substance reset. This report is built on the current position: the 13O and 13U schemes after the 1 January 2025 changes, MAS Circular IID 04/2025 on governance, the closed grant scheme and the repealed RFMC regime. It pulls the whole picture — structure, tax, family offices, EAMs and re-domiciliation — into one place you can read offline or share with your board.
Discuss a proposed structure
Outline your strategy, investor base and timetable. We can introduce a licensed fund manager where appropriate to assess the requirements of your proposed VCC.

What does the 2026 VCC report cover?
Eleven sections: the VCC structure and Section 29 ring-fencing, requirements and governance (including MAS Circular IID 04/2025), setup process and costs, the post-2025 tax regime (13O, 13U, 13D and 13OA), family offices (SFO, MFO, GIP and succession), external asset managers and the sub-fund platform, inward re-domiciliation, and the 2026 adoption data and outlook.
How current are the figures in the report?
It reflects the position as of June 2026 for Year of Assessment 2026 — including 1,406 VCCs, 3,443 sub-funds and S$6.7 trillion AUM from the MAS Asset Management Survey 2025, the 1 January 2025 economic-substance changes, the RFMC repeal and the closed VCC Grant Scheme. Where a figure is an industry estimate rather than an official MAS number, the report says so.
Who is the report for?
Fund managers, family offices, external asset managers and their advisers evaluating a Singapore VCC — whether launching a new fund, setting up a single- or multi-family office, or re-domiciling an existing offshore vehicle.
